Egyptian Vestibule

Mirrors set into the doors made this small space appear spacious. Bronze-coloured plaster statues by Ivan Prokofyev represent 12 months of the year. The ceiling fresco by Giovanni Scotti consists of four scenes of cupids engaged in occupations symbolising the four seasons. The crystal lanterns resemble inverted bells. The staircase takes us to the State Vestibule.
